I'm relatively new to chisel work but am getting more and more personal time in the shop and appreciate not using power tools for everything. I've started to get my hands on a few chisels and found that I greatly prefer the shorter length of a butt chisel, but want to ask if I should be getting general bench chisels over the others? As I develop skill and use them more, am I going to discover that the full lenth is beneficial? Or is this just a personal preference?
Thanks for helping out with a simple question.
